Acute cystitis without hematuria.
Medical necessity for coding N30.00 is established by the presence of clinical symptoms and/or diagnostic testing confirming acute bladder infection.The absence of blood in urine is crucial for selecting this specific code.Treatment should be medically appropriate and necessary based on the severity of the infection.
Diagnosis and treatment of acute cystitis falls under the responsibility of a physician, typically a urologist or primary care physician.This may involve ordering urine cultures, prescribing antibiotics, and managing patient symptoms.
In simple words: This code means an acute bladder infection without blood in the urine.Common symptoms include needing to urinate often, burning during urination, and pain above the pubic bone.
N30.00, Acute cystitis without hematuria, is an ICD-10-CM code representing an acute inflammation of the urinary bladder without the presence of blood in the urine.It is typically caused by bacterial infection and presents with symptoms such as frequent urination, painful urination (dysuria), and potentially suprapubic pain.This code excludes conditions like irradiation cystitis, trigonitis, and prostatocystitis, which require separate coding.
Example 1: A 35-year-old female presents with urgency, frequency, and dysuria. Urinalysis reveals bacteriuria, and a culture confirms E. coli infection.The diagnosis of acute cystitis without hematuria (N30.00) is given, and antibiotics are prescribed., A 60-year-old male with a history of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) reports urinary frequency and burning. Examination and urinalysis reveal no hematuria, and a UTI is diagnosed.The appropriate code is N30.00, and treatment involves antibiotics and management of BPH symptoms., A 22-year-old female reports pelvic pain and urinary symptoms consistent with cystitis.Urinalysis shows no blood, and a culture is pending.Provisional diagnosis is N30.00.Further workup might be necessary to rule out other conditions.
Complete documentation of symptoms (frequency, urgency, dysuria, suprapubic pain), urinalysis results, culture reports (if available), treatment plan (antibiotics prescribed, patient education), and response to treatment.
** This code is used for acute cystitis only.Chronic or recurrent cystitis requires different coding.
